About Jill M Jacques
I grew up in Johannesburg, South Africa, and have spent most of my life here doing the usual things - marrying, having children and caring for an array of pets ranging from dogs to silkworms and chameleons.
I first became interested in philosphy and its practical application in everyday life in my early 20s and spent many years as part of a group that pursued this goal.
Drawing on this experience, I have been running "How to live in the Now" programmes for over 10 years. I wrote this book in response to requests from group members for something "simple and practical".
I tend to see the funny side of life situations and enjoy writing humorous back pages as well as short stories and some poetry. Some of these have been published.
Being here now is what really matters.
I like the idea but we can never be sure. I’m teaching our dog to speak and read English so I can ask it questions and leave messages, simple ones like ‘I love you Alfie’.
Please stop now! With so many humans with hyperactive, cluttered minds we need dogs who can just be there for us…….
Woah! I’m really digging the template/theme of this site.
It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s very hard
to get that “perfect balance” between superb usability
and visual appearance. I must say you have done a
amazing job with this. Also, the blog loads super fast for me on Opera.
Excellent Blog!
Thank you – so glad it works for you.
